VMWARE OPTIMIZED - Intel Smart Sound - We're sorry-we've run into an issue

Copper Contributor

Hi,

 

I am currently testing out the VMWARE TEAMS OPTIMIZATION.

 

Horizon View Client (with Teams Optimization enabled) : 8.0.0 (2006)

Horizon View Infrastructure : 8.0.0 (2006)

Horizon View Agent : 8.0.0 (2006)

 

Connecting from : Lenovo Yoga X1 (2020 model) 

 

Several of my users have an issue where they can't use Microsoft Teams from their Horizon View Virtual Desktops for meetings. 

 

After several tests, I have realized that if the Intel Smart Sound Technology (Intel SST - The "onboard microphone") is chosen as Microphone, the Meeting Connection does not establish.  

 

"We're sorry-we've run into an issue"

 

However, if I plug in a headset either in the 3.5mm jack or USB port and use this device as Microphone, it works just fine. 

 

Has anyone ever encountered this issue?

 

Thanks,

Hi Andrew, 

 

Haven't encountered this personally. Maybe @Alexander Ivanov can provide some insight into this one with his knowledge of Teams VDI

 

Best, Chris

@andrewti3 So when you connect a 3,5 device to the Intel SST sound card it works, sounds like it is something between the computer and VMware that doesn't match.

 

When you connect a certified headset it works from Teams in VMWare VDI without any problems? Since you always should use a certified headset in Teams calls I would recommend this in the VMWare setup too.

 

Maybe @Alexander Ivanov got some more to say about Teams in VMWare VDI?
